Graduated Background terrible on broadcast monitor….
Hi All,
In an animation I used a background of a point light illuminating a dark green solid to get a radial gradient style effect. The project is 16 bits and I’m using a 10 bit codec to render to a QT.
The graduated background looks very stepped when playing it in Final Cut. (looking at it on an HD broadcast monitor).
Are there any work arounds / codecs to avoid the ‘stepped’ background or is this just a victim of too low sample rates?Thanks,
Dom

Hm. Going 16- and 10-bpc should help, but some situations (especially monochromatic gradients) just call for a little noise. I think adding some HLS noise, maybe 5%, should do.

I’ve found that using Tinderbox’s de-band filter helps with this issue. It combines noise as well as blur.
